Hey Toulon, how about you make your putters sit naturally square on the ground at address instead of being more than 10 degrees open? Complete waste of money getting that $500 custom San Diego putter that kept pushing every putt because of the open face, it’s now since been sold. Never again.

  Huh? This has to be a you problem and not a putter problem. I’ve never put any putter down that just naturally sat “10 degrees open”…

Great comments from Sean Toulon-

Really enjoyed ST’s history in the game, especially the part about working with Dick DeLaCruz(RIP), the father of the milled putter, with DeLaCruz working R&D for two different golf companies at the same time.

Loren Roberts, taking one putt with a $10,000 prototype putter Toulon specially made for him, and telling him “THANKS, but No Thanks.”

From this TG2 segment, it now appears Mizuno has become a “RH Only” company when it comes to offering any forged Tour model irons.

I love, I love the diamond face milling. I will get one for my WITB set of gonadal weapons.

Too much chit chat and takes too long. Just print out the script for this so we don’t have to waste time

  Agree the chit chat and ‘two guys’ talk is very excessive….

On this episode of Club Junkie, I put the new Tour Edge Exotics Mini Driver to the test and break down the performance, forgiveness, distance, and where it fits compared to a traditional driver or strong fairway wood. If you have been curious about adding a mini driver to the bag, this one is worth a look.

I also dive into the new TaylorMade Spider ZT Max putter that was recently spotted and discuss the growing zero torque putter trend. Plus, there is a closer look at the new Project X Titan Yellow shaft showing up on the PGA Tour and what makes it different from other profiles currently out there.

On this episode of Club Junkie, I dive into the brand-new Ping i540 irons and talk about where they fit in the lineup, their performance on the course, and who I think they are really made for. There is a lot to love — and maybe one complaint in the new i540 irons.

The show also covers the new L.A.B. VZN.1i putters that have started showing up, plus some new Graphite Design Tour AD shafts spotted out on the PGA Tour and what makes them interesting. Wrapping things up, I might swap a few shafts into some putters and talk through how those changes might completely alter feel and performance.

Club Junkie’s Titleist GTS driver fitting results!

On this episode of the Club Junkie Podcast, I head to the Titleist Performance Institute for a full driver fitting with the new Titleist GTS lineup. We dive into the fitting process, talk about what made the biggest difference in performance, and break down how the different GTS heads and shaft combinations compare on the launch monitor. If you are thinking about a new driver setup for this season, there is a lot to take away from this one.

I also get into Brooks Koepka and the gear setup he brought to the PGA Championship, including the putters that caught my eye during the week. There are some interesting equipment trends showing up at the highest level right now and we break down what stands out.

To wrap things up, I talk about reshafting a few wedges, what I learned during the process, and swapping an adaptor onto a new shaft for another build project in the shop. A gear packed episode from start to finish for anyone who loves golf equipment and club building.
